  • On May 20, 2009, US law enforcement arrested four men in connection with a fake plot concocted by a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) informant to shoot down military airplanes flying out of an Air National Guard base in Newburgh, New York, and blow up two synagogues in the Riverdale community of the Bronx using weapons supplied by the FBI. The group was led by Shahed Hussain, a Pakistani criminal who was working for the FBI to avoid deportation for having defrauded the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. Hussain has never been charged in the United States with any terrorism related offenses and was paid nearly US$100,000 by the FBI for his work on this plot. The FBI's use of two informants, and offers of money and food incentives to the four men in the case has led to accusations that the FBI engaged in entrapment. On August 23, 2013, by a 2 to 1 vote, an appeal to overturn the convictions was denied by a Manhattan appeals court. Judge Jon O. Newman cited James Cromitie's statements as proof of intent. In dissent, the Chief Judge Dennis Jacobs said there was scarce evidence of pre intent and that Cromitie was "badgered" into joining the plot. All three judges unanimously rejected the entrapment claims by the three other defendants and rejected all four defendants’ arguments that their convictions should be overturned on grounds of government misconduct.

  • Em 20 de maio de 2009, a polícia americana prendeu quatro homens em conexão com uma trama falsa inventada por um informante do FBI para supostamente abater aviões militares voando em uma base aérea da Guarda Nacional em Newburgh, Nova York, e explodir duas sinagogas na Comunidade Riverdale no Bronx usando armas fornecidas pelo FBI. O grupo era liderado pelo paquistanês , um criminoso que trabalhava para o Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) para evitar a deportação por fraude contra o . Shahed Hussain nunca foi acusado nos EUA de qualquer delito relacionado com o terrorismo e recebeu quase US US $ 100.000 dólares do FBI por seu trabalho nessa trama. O uso de dois informantes pelo FBI e ofertas de dinheiro e incentivos alimentares aos quatro homens levaram a acusações de envolvimento do FBI. Em 23 de agosto de 2013, em um placar de 2 a 1, um recurso para anular as condenações foi negado por um tribunal de recursos de Manhattan. O juiz Jon O. Newman citou as declarações de Cromitie como prova de intenção. Em divergência, o juiz-chefe Dennis Jacobs disse que havia poucas evidências de pré-intenção e que Cromitie estava "atormentado" para participar da trama. Todos os três juízes rejeitaram unanimemente as alegações de aprisionamento dos outros três acusados ​​e rejeitaram os argumentos dos quatro réus de que suas condenações deveriam ser anuladas por motivo de má conduta do governo.
